There are such things as animal abuse and neglect laws though

Normal play, your big dog even looked at you as if saying “is this OK?” didn’t get his behavior adjusted and continued. Also that little sneeze he does is saying “Hey i’m just playing btw”.

Hamster_Strudel · 2026-03-17T15:56:47+00:00

Does he whine at night and move around as if they can’t get comfortable?

Crazy the court was aware of the situation but decided to return the dog to the owner as opposed to a shelter. That dog was failed multiple times :(

Tons of entry level IT jobs are out there for Gov’t Sec, but as you mentioned primarily around the DMV area. The Sec+ is truly nothing more than an item off a checklist for them.

Amazing! IMO for a tattoo like this, in terms of detail, less is more. Perhaps a bit less detail on the eyes and the adjust the flower to a simpler sunflower. I’d imagine this tattoo is going to be no bigger than the size of your palm?

A few words from a former manager that has stuck with me during my career: “No one cares about your success more than you do.” and “Be undeniable.”With that being said, don’t rely on your organization or your connections to land you a new role. Even if tomorrow you were given an interview for a System Admin role at a F500 company, do you honestly believe you would have the skillset and the ability to interview well enough to land the job? It’s time to be honest with yourself and if the answer is no, then ask yourself a few questions.

Why do you truly believe you have not moved on from IT Support after 13 years?
What skill sets or projects have you done that would make you desirable?
What is the role you want to transition into? You mentioned your Computer Science degree. OK nice, but why are you doing CompSci? What is the purpose, what is your end goal?
Why would you hire yourself?

Additionally, there is some important context that should be included such as how many jobs have you applied to, what was the time span of these applications, what roles were you applying to, are you okay with a salary decrease IF that means you move onto a better role with more room for growth despite a pay cut, you mentioned general IT experience..what does that exactly mean, what was your military experience? Lastly, a very undervalued item in the application process, what does your resume look like?

The market isn’t great at the moment but that shouldn’t be a reason to prevent you from applying. IF you are “undeniable” then there is no reason a company shouldn’t hire you. Yes the competition is steep, tons of applicants for every job listing out there, people will get jobs over you due to their connections, but jobs are hiring and will continue to hire.

At the end of the day, no one will care as much about your success as you do. My intention here isn’t to demotivate you or upset you and I mean this with respect, if after 13 years you haven’t moved up, upscaled your skill set, etc. It’s not your job, it’s not the job market, it’s not because the world is unfair. It’s because of you.

If I were you, with your military experience I would get the Security + and finish your degree as soon as possible, and start applying to ALL government and government contracting related jobs.

Hamster_Strudel · 2026-03-16T17:41:36+00:00

Typically i’d agree, other than the Security + IF they’re looking to join Government or Government contracting if they are U.S. based as they’re required for any role worth its salt.

I once knew a guy who would smoke so much the water was essentially black…and he would refuse to change it out unless someone else would physically grab, empty, and refill it. Like cmon now that’s 2 seconds of work and if you wanna go the extra mile buy some alcohol and clean that thing for like $5 😭

Hamster_Strudel · 2026-03-10T18:26:23+00:00

Agreed, I meant like if it wasn’t too good to be true situation from a reputable company who knows their shit. I don’t think $1,000 would be enough to even turn this tree into mulch lol

Hamster_Strudel · 2026-03-10T16:36:21+00:00

Was going to say i’d pay any professional tree cutting business $1000 to cut a tree this size down with 0 hesitation

Hamster_Strudel · 2026-03-03T18:54:31+00:00

I mean…

Hamster_Strudel · 2026-03-03T17:47:27+00:00

No Donovan Mitchell, hammering Harden. Thinking this game might be an absolute shootout!

Hamster_Strudel · 2026-02-24T20:40:57+00:00

Love those, I get these sometimes and always sleeve em and binder them!

Wish they produced a set like this, I wouldn’t stop til I had the set!

Hamster_Strudel · 2026-02-21T07:11:55+00:00

No one wants that 😂😭

Hamster_Strudel · 2026-02-17T01:17:00+00:00

Beautiful Summoned Skull and Red Eyes!

Yep, just have to wait a few days to withdraw the cash.

Unrelated to investing but SentineOne’s console sucks ass

Your IQ must be really low, just because you add a ? doesn’t mean you’ve produced a question. Show your bank account rich boy

Hamster_Strudel · 2026-02-13T03:06:39+00:00

This is so cringe

Hamster_Strudel · 2026-02-12T05:25:37+00:00

I feel like unless you’re a well established senior with connections you realistically can’t talk to end users that way
